The OFC Office District is included in the Zoning Code to achieve the opportunity for offices of a semi-commercial character to locate outside of the commercial districts. By establishing an Office District, the City of Hudson recognizes the changing structure of our economy to service-oriented one and thus desires to establish and maintain in certain areas of the City the high standards of site planning, architecture and landscape design sought by many businesses and professional offices.
